The Four Noble Clans

Renji had his head down, he moved in slowly 'i need to talk to you'


Kimiko stepped back 'come inside its getting heavier and im sure youve learnt about how everything changes with conditions'

"Sure" Hitohira smiled, "Staying for tea?"


Hisagi nodded his body was shaking slightly from the cold.

Renji nodded slightly 'why not'


Kimiko moved inside and picked up the towels passing him one

Hitohira smiled and moved to go get them tea she told him to make himself comfortable.


Hisagi said his thanks as he dried himself off.

Renji fiddled with his hands this was going to be so hard


Kimiko dried her own hair slowly as to not mess it up so much

Hitohira passed him a cup of tea and sat down smiling with hers.


Hisagi did the complete opposite with his hair.

Renji did not smile, he was in thought



Kimiko sat down 'tea?' she offered

"What was it you wanted to talk about... have you thought on my offer of moving in?" Hitohira asked slightly hopeful.


Hisagi looked at the time and nodded, "Please" it was still raining hard.

Renji looked down this was making this harder 'Rukia spoke to me last night'


Kimiko poured them tea 'you are growing stronger'

"Oh" Hitohira felt her smile fade slightly. "A good thing?" she questioned.


"I am training hard" Hisagi replied.

Renji sighed stroking his hair 'she spoke about giving me a chance to be with her'


'it shows, now you are taking me seriously' Kimiko stated

"Will it make you happy?" Hitohira asked bluntly.


Hisagi nodded in response as he sipped his tea.

Renji looked pretty miserable having to say these things 'i... ive always liked her, always'


Kimiko messed with her hair, the rain had made her look a mess

"Then... go for it, if it will make you happy" Hitohira replied looking down at her hands.


Hisagi finished the tea feeling much warmer.

'i... i feel like a jerk' Renji sighed heavily


Kimiko sighed she hated looking a mess infront of guests

"Your not a jerk for going for what you want" Hitohira replied. "We can still be friends" though she knew that would hurt her more.


Hisagi stood up, "Perhaps i should leave"

Renji looked down 'im so sorry'


Kimiko stood up slowly 'return whenever you want to train'

"Its alright... perhaps you should leave" Hitohira stated.



Hisagi nodded, "Thank you"

Renji stood up slowly 'im sorry' he repeated


Kimiko moved to take him to the door, she would make herself presentable afterwards, just incase Byakuya came

Hitohira just waved him off not moving from her seat. She was acting like it was nothing but it really wasn't


Hisagi moved off.

Renji left with his head down he felt bad


Kimiko moved upstairs to dry and change

When Hitohira heard the door close she burst into tears.


Byakuya was finishing work.

Renji moved to go to the 6th he would have to do some work today he moved into the office 'i did it'


Kimiko had undressed she was just wearing a towel now while she sat to sort out her hair

Byakuya nodded, "Finish up work... the holidays are starting no doubt i will see you in the Kuchiki manor more"

Hitohira fell to her knees in tears.

Renji moved to work 'yeah'




Kimiko was just brushing her hair, sighing to herself
